I understand that you need to work and feed yourself and your family, however it is NOT acceptable to call someones house after 9pm to conduct a survey. I also understand that you are calling from California, but that is not an excuse. Figure out what time it is in the time zone you are calling before you call and wake up one of my children. Because let me tell you, had one of my kids woken up, you would have gotten a freakin ear full. Yes I would have called your butt back and bitched you out.
Oh and for the record, I am on the National Do Not Call List. Not sure if that really amounts to much, but I’m on it so darn it, you’re gonna respect that.
OOOOH I hate hate HATE telemarketers. Especially ones that I cannot understand on the phone. Why the heck would you give someone that job if they were unable to speak clearly and with proper English? Saying things like “ain’t” and sentences that do not make sense is not acceptable in my book. But what do I know?
Honestly we get so many I’ve almost completely stopped answering the phone.
Oh I hear you!! We always get calls from CA, FL and North Dakota. When did ND get in on the telemarketing action. In our house, the do not answer the phone if you don’t know who it is talk is right up there with don’t answer the door!
Sometimes if I know it is telemarketer by the caller idea, I pushed the answer button on the phone and hand the phone to my son who proceeds to talk their ear off HEHE 🙂
I can’t stand telemarketers, either! What really annoys me is when you tell them you aren’t interested, and they just keep yakking like you never said anything!
I sometimes say, “Can you read that again? I simply wasn’t listening…”
lol
